Hi,
I can use your help, i need to print out a pdf format file, but unfortunate it has been protected, also there is no way i can have access to the author.

The document security is as follows
printing not allowed
filling of form field not allowed
creating a template page not allowed
Document Assembly not allowed
Content copy not allowed
copy for accessibility not allowed
page extraction not allowed

How can i override this situation, will it be possible to convert it into another file format where printing will now be made available ? though there are pictures on its pages, it is a manual for a product
I will appreciate your response
Thank you

OK, so you want to stamp your document. Maybe you need to give reviewers some advice about the document's status or sensitivity. This tip from author Ted Padova demonstrates how to add stamps with the Stamp Tool along with related comments.
